Musica ad Rhenum was founded in 1992 by musicians inspired by the expressive power and virtuosity inherent in Baroque music. The performance style of the group, which is based on extensive research into the sources of the period, reflects their conviction that the music of the past must be interpreted in an alive and creative way to authentically represent the intentions of the composer.
Musica ad Rhenum has released 15 CDs on the Vanguard and NM Classics labels. These recordings have been hailed by critics throughout Europe as “setting a new standard” for early music performances. The CD Alla rustica was awarded the Cini Prize for the best Vivaldi recording of 1994. In 1995, their recording of Locatelli's flute sonatas Op. 2 was awarded the Cini Prize for the best recording of instrumental music.
The audience is invited to join the artists at a reception following the performance.
The concert will be presented in the Auditorium of the APS Conference Center (Bldg. 402) at Argonne. It is open to the public; no special permit is required to enter the laboratory site.
